New Visitor Management Procedures BridgePrep Academy of Osceola is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will allow us to achieve this goal. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff.

Coronavirus Information For Parent and Student Dear Osceola Family, Listed below is the latest information received from the Florida Department of Education and CDC, please ensure that the following steps are practiced, reviewed and shared with your students and parents: Ensure hand washing strategies include washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Develop information-sharing systems with parents and local partners. Perform routine cleaning, including frequently touched surfaces. It is currently flu season, and we encourage you to continue to stress these common guidelines with all members of the school community, students, staff, and parents: Get a flu shot, and take flu antivirals if prescribed. If you are sick, stay home. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Carry and use alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Call ahead before visiting your doctor. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Immediately dispose of the used tissue. Monitor your symptoms.

Coronavirus Dear Parents, BridgePrep Academy is monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warnings regarding the Coronavirus and will be in contact with parents in the unlikely event that the school community is affected. Attached you will find a Fact Sheet from the CDC regarding the Coronavirus. This sheet contains information on how to protect yourself and your children, and how to treat them in the event of contracting it. As always, to prevent widespread communicable illnesses in the school, we recommend that your child stay home from school if he or she is experiencing flu or cold symptoms. Colds and most viral illnesses are the most contagious during the first 48 hours. A student who has a fever should remain at home until “fever free” for a minimum of 24 hours without the need for over the counter medicines, as this only masks symptoms. A student who has started antibiotics needs to be on the medication for 48 hours before considered non-contagious and able to return to school with a doctors note stating that the child is no longer contagious. Remember that keeping a sick child at home will help minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom.
